Accidentally.

The problem isn't that Masterpiece is too small it's that Classics has always been too big!

Amelie wrote:Honestly... I don't like it. It looks more of a return to the old styles of Masterpiece toys that has unnecessary gimmicks and potentially avoidable compromises to the original material added.
Sabrblade wrote:The cartoon is not the end-all, be-all, only thing that matters in regards to G1. Before the cartoon, there was the comic; before the comic, there was the toyline, and in that toyline were 28 toys. 18 Autobots and 10 Decepticons. Those are the ones that Takara wants to get done first, with any others being made either as redecos/remolds of the original 28 in order to milk the molds of the original 28, or as extra special case side projects like Masterpiece Fans Choice winner Star Saber.zodconvoy wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Cartoon designs, yes, but the original toyline is what dictated all of G1 in the first place.manofsteel2397 wrote:i thought they were going with the cartoon line?
Splitting hairs, dude. Shockwave was a huge part of Season 1 and Reflector was aboard the Nemesis making them as '84 as you can get. They go by characters on in the cartoon as Grimlock's reissue proves. Shockwave won't happen because it's not theirs to make but nothing's stopping a toon accurate Reflector. Devastator might be too much to ask for though.
And Grimlock's reissue proves nothing since it was only reissued in non-Japanese markets, not as a part of the main Japanese Masterpiece line as it currently is.Ultra Magnus is a remold of the existing MP-10 Convoy mold, meaning they can make him without having to do so from complete scratch and can further promote the MP-10 mold. With new molds, however, they wanna complete the '84 cast before dipping into new molds of later characters.Stormrider wrote:So how does MP Ultra Magnus and Dai Atlas fit into this?
As for Star Saber (not Dai Atlas), he's a special side project being made by an entirely different designer for a very special case, being the winner of the Masterpiece Fans Choice poll, in celebration of the brand's 30th Anniversary. Thus, his case demands special treatment.They could still remake Megatron, and he badly needs it.Stormrider wrote:Takara also stated that they wanted to make 1 big MP and 2 smaller MPs per year. There aren't any more 1984 big characters left. Shockwave and Galvatron are legitimate choices. I don't feel 100% certain that Skywarp and Thundercracker will be redone. Is there a need too? Their colors and scale from their previous releases work perfectly.Ironhide/Ratchet and Trailbreaker(/Hoist) are bigger than the other Autobot Cars and could possibly be counted among the bigger MPs (if they're only about a head shorter than Convoy/Starscream/Soundwave/etc.).Stormrider wrote:Not sure if you understand my post because the cars you listed are not considered big MPs by Takara's logic. I was replying to Sabrblade's post:
